Greek Life: Spring Rush '11

Guess who is in a sorority! That's right... little old me :) After attending Spring Rush and going through various events, I am finally apledge for Kappa Kappa Gamma! You know who else was a Kappa? Kate Spade... and Sophia Bush! I might be stretching it a bit, but in Greek life... I can call them my sisters too ;) After some tragic events that have happened, joining that sorority was just what I needed. Those girls were so supportive of everything and helped me through a lot. Also, lots of cupcakes were involved – who can be sad when cupcakes are involved? Come on, let's be realistic here.

Spring Rush was definitely a lot more relaxed than Fall Rush. When I was going through Fall Rush at NYU, it was hectic and crazy, and NYU's Greek life is nothing compared to FSU's Greek life. I had to drop out of Fall Rush due to conflicts with my work schedule, but I went through most of it to get a good feel. During Fall Rush, they emphasize going in with an open mind and seeing all the houses multiple times. Spring Rush, you see all the different sororities usually in one location and talk with them casually for a small period of time. At FSU we call this Winterfest. We talked to all the sororities, though some were not accepting bids in the spring because they had reached their quota. (That's the only downside of Spring Rush – not all sororities participate.) Then, they decide to call you back to events at the house. At the end of Spring Rush, you either receive a bid or you don't.

Now, I will be spending the remainder of my time with an awesome group of girls! Also, they have the cutest anoraks. They are like windbreakers, but better! I'm so excited, especially for all the events coming up! I better buckle down and keep my grades up, but so far, my new start at FSU is already turning out to be amazing. Also my owl pal (Kappa's mascot is the owl) Kristi is from Grand Rapids, Michigan... like me! It was fate.

Hakuna Matata!
Esther... the token Asian :)
